In order to properly maintain your transmission a periodic transmission flush is required. Most vehicles are recommended to have the fluid flushed every 24-48,000 miles. It may also be recommended to replace the transmission filter. The filter is a vital component in order to keep any contaminants from entering transmission. The smallest of particles that enter the transmission can cause premature failure of its components such as the torque converter, valve body, solenoids, and the clutches.

The fluid is the gel that holds it all together. When the fluid is clean, it will help to keep the transmission cool and lubricate the internal components. When everything is in good shape, the transmission will shift smoothly and last longer.
